Spec Ops: The Line [HERE BE SPOILERS]

[Secret world leader (shhh)]

If you haven't played Spec Ops: The Line, get out. No really, GTFO, you can come back when you've finished Spec Ops, it's awesome.

There's not a whole lot of Spec Ops discussion going on here, this makes Secret World Leader sad, because it really deserves to be discussed :'(

So, what did you think of the game? I thought it was great, easily my game of the year so far (I have only bought this game and ME3 this year). You could say that the actual shooty-kill gameplay stuff is kind of boring, but I actually like it. The game lulls you into this unthinking, zen-like state of killing shit so that you only really think about / realize what you're doing after it's too late (for example, the white phosphorous scene).

For those interested, there's an audio interview with one of the developers here .

I would have more to say about the game, but i've still to properly figure the whole thing out, maybe it warrants a second playthrough.

Captcha: Cool heads prevail.
Oddly appropriate, but I guess that's Captcha's whole "thing".

It was average. I'd say better than what most shooters have become today. But that's it, although I did like some of the locations and scenery.

And the Willy Pete Scene was bullshit because I realized exactly what I was about to do, but had to do it anyway because the game wouldn't advance if I didn't.

You were supposed to quit. The game even said so.

I don't think it's was good as people have been saying, but I definitely appreciate what it was trying to do.

Considering what it did to Yahtzee, it's in my "Get when it's cheap and I'm not gonna be breaking an age-rating law."
